He had it in the back of his mind for years........"if I ever get the chance to play the race card, I'm in for a giant payday". That day finally came.

It isn't a "law" thing, and the doofus airport cops had no jurisdiction to get involved in a simple business dispute.  Note that the "cops" involved have all been suspended.  Republic/United was just trying to be cheap and didn't offer enough to ticketed passengers to convince them to give up their seats.  Now they will pay a whole lot more for being stupid and treating paying passengers like third world refugees or cattle.

News reports constantly say it was a case of overbooking, but in fact that is not true.  The plane was booked to capacity and boarded prior to four United employees walking up and demanding seats to get to their next assignment.  Obviously someone didn't plan ahead, and it wasn't the folks who were forced off the flight to make room for these employees.  Next time this happens let the employees fly in the cargo hold, alongside the pets.  Put the CEO in there with them.

This was one of the stupidest PR f$%* ups, from beginning to end, since Neville Chamberlain tried to convince Europe and the United States that "appeasement" was a good idea.

And they will be paying out big bucks thanks to corporate stupidity and greed.  The guy was basically assaulted not unlike a common street mugging.  He is currently scheduled for surgery and has retained the services of an excellent Chicago law firm.  United has already announced they are refunding ticket prices for all 70 passengers on the plane, and no doubt some of those will also retain legal counsel.

I've never seen a situation where this entire "ask for volunteers to give up a seat" process was done AFTER the passengers had all been boarded.  The normal method in my experience is to ask for volunteers prior to boarding, and to up the ante until they get the number of volunteers they need.  Of course they didn't do that this time because those four crew members didn't ask for seats until the very last minute.  Stupid on their part, stupid on the airlines part, and really stupid for the local yokels to get the airport rent-a-cops involved.  The experts here in Chicago have already confirmed this was an improper use of the airport authority "cops".

I hope the stink from this is strong enough and lasts long enough for the weasels in DC to fix the laws and restrict airlines from this sort of hooray for them and screw the public practice.  And they need to extend the changes to the usual overbooking (which didn't apply here) where they knowingly sell more tickets to a flight than they have available.  Let them make up the profits on no-shows some other way, like charging those no-shows directly.  Kind of like when you make an appointment with a medical professional and then don't show up.  The airlines need to be prohibited from screwing over people who bought tickets in good faith and have plans that being bumped will destroy.
